Above the Atmosphere.

If it were possible to rise above the
atmosphere which surrounds the earth,
we should see nothing but an intense
and sharply defined ball of fire, while
everything else would be wrapped in
total darkness. There could be no diff
ference of light without an atmosphere
or some similar medium for it to act
upon; but if the air around us extended
to height of 700 miles, the rays of the
sun could not penetrate it, and we should
be left in darkness. At the depth of
700 feet in the ocean the light ceases al
together, one-half of the light being ab-
sorbed in passing through seV6n feet OF
the purest water.

HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.
Care of Linen.

Once year, even the most frugal
housewife should replenish her linen
closet, and add to her store at least the
furnishing of one bed and dozen tow
els. In this wny the stock is not allowed
to run out.
Old sheets may be cut up into crib
sheets, and the soft linen rags laid away
for use in case of illness.
A sense of satisfaction accompanies
the putting to rights of the linen closet,
and, even when an old chest has to serve
as receptacle for house linen, the re-
filling and repacking of chest or box is
work that should be done.

FROM ERIE DISTRICT.
A Word From Secretary Parks to All
Colorado Miners.

Editor Labor Enquirer.
LAsoFoRp, Colo, June 5.-Work in this
district is very slack and is likely to re-
main so until the first of September. A
large number of miners have gone else
where to look for employment. Three
fourths of the men employed at Erie have
gone away, and those who have remained
are getting about one-fourth time. Louis
vile is worse than Erie as the mine at
that place does so little that it can scarcely
be said to be working at all. MARSHALL
miners are working about one-third time.
The Fox mine has been idle through the
month of June, but has started up again
under contract, employing only about
sixteen men-just the old hands.
1t is reported that several new mines
will be opened in this district in the near
future and this fact calls to my mind the
absolute necessity of the miners through
out the district being very careful not to
contract to or perform any mine labor for
less than the established district prices.
consider it to be my duty to try and
hold the wages agreed upon by the concil-
iation board couple of years ago. To
do this should have the assistance of
each and every miner in this district. l
do not speak of this in financial sense at
all. But do mean that it is the duty of
every miner In an honest, frank and manly
way to do all they can individually to sus-
tain what is known as our regular district
prices.
mean by this that it is wrong for any
miner, simply because work is dull and
that it is summer time, to commence turn
ing rooms for nothing, working wet
places or driving narrow work for free
turn. II man is too cowardly to ask
for what he knows is right and fair, he is
to be pitied, that is, when his cowardice
only hurts himself. But one mans cow
ardice or meanness in certain mine may
infiict severe injury upon a great many
others. And then this individual cowar-
dice becomes public curse, and it takes
the combined efforts Of many good men
10 remove this evil. To avoid this let
every man be honest and square to him.
self and to his fellow-man. Make your
employers respect you by first re-
specting yourself.
1t Is probable that the miners OF this
district viii hold a general mass meeting
during the latter part Of August at some
central point in the district, and one ques-
tion which will b submitted for debate is
4 very important one think: "Shall We

Arbitration In ch,s.x..

CHICAGO, July 1.-Arbitration in the
great lockout in the building trades began
to-day. Five members of the bricklayers
union and a like number of the master
masons' association met in conference
this morning and spent the entire day be-
hind closed doors. Before the conference
a committee from the master carpenters
association waited on the master masons'
arbitration committee and requested that
nine hours be insisted upon a. q days
work. The master masOns refused to
make any promises, and some Of them
are in favor of eight hours. The day was
spent in attempts to agree upon a moder-
ator satisfactory to both sides. No one
was decided upon. The conference viii
be resumed tomorrow.

Very Correct.

New York Sun. July2.
An interesting idea of how Mr.. Henry
George is regarded by straight.out So
cialist is gained from criticisms found in
a pamphlet by one of his followers, Mr..
Laurence Gronlund. Mr.. Gronlund says
that his remarks are not intended to be
"a gauge of BATTLE" but "a warning to the
members of the United Labor Party"
Here are few sentences:
"We highly esteem the noble qualities
of his head and heart. We consider Henry
George the forerunner of Socialism in the
United States, and the entering wedge of
our ideas in American minds.
"He seems to be stone blind in one eye.
"How can he come to such preposter-
ous cOnclusionY
"He is brought to this conclusion by
the most astounding piece of self -deoep-
ton.
"This foreg6he conclusion has inextri-
cably twisted his mind.
"His original argument in justification
of interest is more than original: it is
artful.
"This argument is the most extraordi-
nary sophism that ever deceived an au-
thor.
"George himself says (Protection and
Free Trade, page 291): Land itself has
no value. Value arises only from human
labor
'It is, then, clear that Henry George has
not surveyed the whole field, and his
theory for that reason is entirely too mar
row. But he has at all events brought his
disciples out upon the field Of Socialism
to where they will find it illogical to re-
main."
In view of Mr.. Georges recent confes-
sion that his theory is at best only an ex-
pertinent, it becomes more and more
clear that Of the philosophers who would
regenerate the social system the only sect
having clear idea OF what they would
substitute for it are the Socialists.

A chorus of about forty ladies and gen.

greatly to the success of the evening
They rendered national and labor songs
with vim that stirred up the greatest en-
thusiasm.
Among other features was a short speech
of Z. o. Cochrane calling attention to the
fact that the Marseiiiaise had been pro-

Ward Labor Club, and saying it should
be sung here once more at least. So Mr..
Matter rendered it in the original in fine
style amid wild applause.
A collection amoupting to $25.25 was

THE BASTILE ANNIVERSARY.

Paris Greatly Excited-Fsars that To-Day

Special to tie IndianaD, ,lis journal
LONDON. July 13.-The feeling of anxiety in
Paris over the possible events Of to-morrow is
increasing in intensity as the anniversary of the
fall of the Bastile approaches. and the govern
ment is redoubling its efforts to augment it's al
ready enormous preparations to prevent an
ebulliton of the hostile feelings Of the populace
toward those who are held responsible for the
overthrow and banishment of Gen. Boulaneer.
Evidences of ill-suppressed excitement are
everywhere visible. and in the pres
ent temper of the people and the
determined attitude of the government,
a collision between the masses and the military
would from the very outset assume the charc-
ter OF very stubbornly fought battle and re-
sulting in great loss of life The warning given
to German residents of Paris by the North Ger
man Gazette, that they had better remain in
doors, has created tremendous sensation in
Paris and aroused feelings of resentment against
the Germans which would otherwise have had
no existence; and since the warning has been
given it were better, perhaps that the objects of
the Gazette's solicitude should heed it, The
sertion of the Figaro that Count Won Munster,
the German ambassador, will leave Paris
tomorrow morning for the purpose of taking
much needed rest at some watering-place
is received with smiles of derision, and the
counter assertion is freely made that the Ger
man representative is afraid to remain in Paris
lest he might receive personal injury. Another
rumor concerning the departure of Count Won
Munster has been somewhat widely circulated,
and has not failed of finding many believers. 1t
is that he has been recalled by his government,
and will, upon bis arrival at Berlin, inform the
French government, by telegraph or otherwise,
that he has no intention of returning. Hun
dreds of similar rumors represented pre-
vailine in Paris tonight. and in London there is
no lack of stories equally as improbable and de-
void of foundation.
A Boulanger demonstration OF mild charac-
ter began at midnight, but increased in enthusi-
little later. The streets rapidly filled un-

good natured, but determined to have it under

Houses not displaying decorations were. in many
cases. assailed with stones, but no great damage
has thus far been done. Cries of 'sVive Bou-

is heard on every side.
